@islamic_vibe43: Makkah is the holiest city in Islam, located in Saudi Arabia. It is home to the Kaaba, the most sacred site in Islam, inside Masjid al-Haram. Every year, millions of Muslims visit Makkah for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. The city is the birthplace of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It has a rich history dating back thousands of years. The Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) is a revered relic set in the Kaaba. Makkah is a city that is closed to non-Muslims. It has undergone significant modernization, with towering hotels and shopping centers. The Abraj Al Bait Clock Tower is one of the tallest buildings in the world. Despite modernization, Makkah remains a spiritual center for over a billion Muslims.
